MARINE BIOLOGY B.S. 2008-09
Sponsored by: Ecology & Evolutionary Biology
Our proximity to the ocean, the on-campus central analytical facilities, and the Long Marine Laboratory make UC Santa Cruz an exceptional campus for the study of marine biology. Course offerings in marine biology can be found throughout the course listings, with additional courses are listed under ocean sciences.
The marine biology major is designed to introduce students to marine organisms and the chemical and physical processes that affect these organisms. The emphasis is on basic principles that help us understand the processes that shape life in marine environments. The marine biology major is a demanding program that offers a B.S. degree and requires several more courses than the general biology B.A. major.
